Another Joseph married Mary Ellen Dixon in 1874; her father Robert Dixon was formerly schoolmaster at Sinderhope but latterly a butcher in Allendale Town and succeeded by his sons including Isaac Dixon who was a butcher in the town until the late 1920s. Joseph Arthur Parker married Mary Blair in 1904. The Blairs farmed in Allendale and Catton. John Blair and family lived at Oak Pool from 1822 until 1874; their son Matthew was a famous northern wrestler in his youth, farmed at High Sunnyside in Catton and was later an Overseer and Parish Councillor in Allendale. His wife Isabella Burn was the daughter of Johnson Burn who ran the Three Tuns in Allendale from 1834 until 1865 and then the Golden Lion in the market place. I would be pleased to share information with anyone else researching these families.

The Board of Guardians hold their meetings on the second and last Saturdays of each month. p. 688 The Burial Board ? In 1856 by an order in council, the graveyard of the Parish Church was practically closed against future interments. A Burial Board was thereupon formed, and a plot of land purchased for a cemetery, about a mile out of the town. The grounds are beautifully laid out and kept in excellent order.
